UNC prevails 89-82 against Michigan State
Posted Dec 2, 2009
UNC survived a frigid shooting spell last night to outlast Michigan State 89-82 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge at the Smith Center. UNC lost most of a 19-point lead forged early in the second half and Michigan State cut the difference to 84-78 with 59 seconds left. Will Graves then delivered two crucial tap-outs of missed free throws that allowed UNC to retain possession, and Larry Drew hit two free throws to keep UNC ahead.
